What matters is totals.
That per-capita comparison makes China and India look much better than actual and the US worse since the US has a smaller population than either (by approximately 1/5 of each or 1/10 of both.)

Well the numbers also show the total amount of emmissions... China and India are in the top ten BUT the US, regardless of whether or not you look at per capita is STILL higher than the rest...
Hell it's higher than the European Union combined...
Yes, China and India have higher populations... a reason we should be concerned about the spead of mass consumerism in those nations... imagine how bad they will be if they continue to increase their output on the same gowth pattern?
They should be held accountable... if not by the accord then by trade tariffs...
Again, the whole this will damage our economy, is BS... the US has the opportunity to be a world leader here and they are squandering that... of course the current administration can't afford to take any economic hits... they need all the treasure they have for other things...
